Gaastra MANIC

WAVE

The Manic is expertly cut to deliver universal wave sail performance at any spot and in all conditions. It perfectly balances power, controllability, and handling in a way that excites every windsurfing enthusiast. Whether carving down the line in perfect side-off winds or performing onshore jumps, this sail is renowned for its versatility and dependability.

In 2022, the Manic sail features an updated panel layout that includes two continuous luff panels. This refinement spreads load better, making the sail more robust and efficient for a wide range of environments. Its redesigned outline further enhances stability and lowers backhand pressure. This increases both comfort and control. Surfers enjoy excellent planing ability and precise handling in all sizes. Larger sizes deliver more power in gentle breezes, while smaller sizes provide impressive control in stronger conditions.

Our dedication to innovation means each sail is crafted with precision using advanced technology, delivering unmatched performance on the water.

CARBON RADIAL LOAD TAPES WAVE SAIL

Carbon tapes stretch from the clew across the center of the sail. They secure a stable profile that improves both control and power in all windsurfing conditions. This innovative technology guarantees the wave sail retains its shape under load for enhanced performance. This stability improves rider confidence in choppy and gusty conditions.

4 BATTENS ON ALL SIZES

To ensure consistent shape retention, the Manic wave sail includes 4 battens across every size. This design strengthens stability while enhancing power delivery and precise handling on the water. The battens maintain the sail's profile stability even during rough water conditions.

This results in improved windsurfing control, ideal for waves and freestyle moves. The consistent sail shape supports smooth transitions and better power management.

COMPACT WINDOW DESIGN

The sail features a compact window that greatly improves rider visibility. This design removes unnecessary seams, enhancing both looks and functionality for waves and windsurfing moves. Clear sightlines improve safety and maneuver confidence for surfers.

Enhanced visibility allows athletes to better anticipate changes in wave shape and wind direction. This can improve overall windsurfing performance and enjoyment.

INTEGRATED BATTEN TECHNOLOGY

All battens above the boom integrate into overlapping panels. This cutting-edge technology optimizes symmetry and stability. It improves sail performance in varied windsurfing conditions, maintaining an ideal sail shape and increasing durability over time.

By keeping the sail's form consistent, it reduces the effort needed to control and adjust while riding waves. Durability also means fewer repairs and longer gear life.

This wave sail combines lightness with excellent profile stability across every size. The Manic meets the needs of surfers seeking superior handling and reliable power on the water. It stands as a trusted choice for every windsurfing enthusiast striving for peak performance.

Through innovation and fine craftsmanship, the Manic offers a perfect balance for competition and recreational wave sailing.
